Looking for 28mm historical miniature figures?
This blog is a database of manufacturers showing who makes what. I am also adding photos showing figures from different makers side by side.
The 'Directory' tab has a list of manufacturers showing what ranges they make and a link to their website.
The other tabs list what figures are available for that period.

As well as Plastic figures, Gripping Beast also produce a large range of Dark Ages miniatures in metal.

Whether you are looking for Vikings, Saxons, Normans, Arthurian, character figures or virtually anything else for this period, there will be something for you!

The figures are nicely sculpted with many varied and interesting poses. Weapons and shields are supplied with the miniatures except for spears which need to be bought separately. I have also found the service to be very good, with accurate orders arriving speedily!

So, on to the comparison photos.....

First, from left to right, we have Gripping Beast, Artizan Designs and Crusader Miniatures.

Next, from left to right, here is Gripping Beast, Dixon Miniatures and Foundry Miniatures.
